  • Statement of Issue
    Health Consultation Tyndall Air Force Base Panama City, Bay County, Florida EPA Facility ID: FL570024124 Prepared by: Federal Facilities Assessment Branch Division of Health Assessment and Consultation Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Atlanta, Georgia Tyndall AFB Health Consultation Statement of Issue The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released a public health assessment (PHA) for Tyndall Air Force Base (TAFB) (EPA ID. FL1570024124) Panama City, Bay County, Florida on December 30, 1999 (ATSDR, 1999). The PHA concluded that Wherry Landfill was an indeterminate public health hazard because the landfill was not sampled for subsurface soil gases that if present, could potentially present an explosive hazard to nearby residents. Landfills may be a source of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and volatile organic compounds. These gases could migrate through the subsurface soil to adjacent homes, build in 1959, at Bay View Housing Area via undisturbed soils or through soils in disturbed areas such as utility lines. Exposure could have occurred since the homes were built in 1959. In ATSDR’s 1999 PHA, ATSDR documented the potential for methane gas, if generated by the landfill, to migrate into Bay Housing Area creating an explosive hazard. Additionally in the PHA, ATSDR concluded that DDT in Shoal Point Bayou (Fred Bayou), lead in soils at the Tyndall Elementary school, and exposure to lead in tap water at 2451 Lincoln Dr in the Bay View housing area posed no apparent public health hazard. This report documents ATSDR’s revision of the Wherry Landfill gases from an “indeterminate” conclusion category to a no public hazard category, based on recent actions taken by the Air Force, in response to our recommendations.

    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 JAN 2 2 2013 OFRCE OF ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE Mr. Gerald F. Pease, Jr., Deputy Assistant Secretary Environment, Safety and Occupational Health U.S. Department ofthe Air Force 1665 Air Force Pentagon, Room 4C746 Washington, DC 20330-1665 Ms. Maureen Sullivan, Director, Environmental Management Office of the Deputy Under Secretary for Installations and Environment, Acquisition, Technology and Logistics U.S. Department ofDefense 3400 Defense Pentagon, Room 5C646 Washington, DC 20301-3400 Dear Mr. Pease and Ms. Sullivan: This letter documents our key long-standing concerns regarding contamination and cleanup at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, a site that has been on the National Priority List since 1997. As you know, the Air Force, at Tyndall, remains unwilling to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) mandatory duty under Section 120(e) to enter into an agreement to properly investigate and remediate actual and potential environmental and health hazards that can endanger the health and welfare ofpeople who live and work there, as well as those in the surrounding community. That noncompliance has delayed necessary and proper cleanup and could result in wasted funds if activities now being unilaterally undertaken by the Air Force are not consistent with federal law. We consider this situation extremely serious, especially if inaccuracies about both the progress of cleanup and the potential risks to human health and the environment confuse and mislead the public. EPA has submitted to the Air Force a CERCLA Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) that would cover activities at Tyndall.
